We the people should not pay for someone’s inability to have prepared sex or use protection.
Having the choice to have an abortion is one thing. Replacing your “baby daddy” with the Government isn’t the proper way to fund your abortions. I’ll say it again... it’s your choice, but the funding is yours as well.

ABORTION FUNDING..... NO WAY .... USA 🇺🇸
I’m in full agreement that USA 🇺🇸 Taxpayers shouldn't have to subsidize abortions unless they’re occurring under dire circumstances like in cases of rape or incest, or there are life-threatening birth complications.

This is a blatant attack on women’s healthcare. Cutting federal funding for abortions will have detrimental repercussions. Including but not limited to bringing children into poverty and pregnant individuals endangering themselves to avoid having a child.

Bill Data

What is Senate Bill S. 109?

This bill would ban federal tax dollars from being spent to provide for abortions. It would make the Hyde Amendment a permanent law, and also ban federal funds from being applied to health coverage plans that include abortion services. Federal funding would be authorized to provide for abortions in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening birth complications, but no federal tax dollars could be used for any other type of abortion.

“This legislation would permanently codify the Hyde Amendment, ensuring that funding restrictions remain in place and are applied to all federal programs. Furthermore, this bill takes important steps to eliminate certain tax benefits related to abortions and improve disclosure requirements related to insurance coverage of abortion. Preventing taxpayer dollars from paying for abortion procedures - a position that a majority of Americans agree with - should not be a complicated process vulnerable to partisan attack.”

“All it would take is a vote [to reopen the government] -- we know it would pass -- and we can move it through the House and send it to the President. But what have Republican leaders done instead? They have done what they’ve always done when they don’t know what else to do! They’ve scheduled a vote to attack women and their healthcare.”

Of Note: Since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has banned federal funds distributed by the Dept. of Health and Human Services from being used for abortions, except in cases of rape or incest, or to save the mother from birth complications. That applies to federal dollars distributed to states under Medicaid, so the 15 state Medicaid programs that fund abortions in excess of the federal standard do so with state tax dollars (10 of which do so under a court order).

Abortion is a polarizing topic: polling from Gallup shows that 50% of Americans think abortions should be legal under certain circumstances -- meaning that they support some restrictions -- while 28% believe abortions should be legal under any circumstance, and 19% believe that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Further, while roughly 60% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in the first trimester, support for abortion rights in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy plummets to 28% and 13%, respectively.

No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2019

Official Title

A bill to prohibit taxpayer funded abortions.

Women have the right to choose whether to have a child or not. Taxpayer dollars already don't go to abortions. There is no need for this bill and it simply further restricts women's freedom. Women are not chattel and we are not baby factories.

This is yet another attempt to undermine women’s rights to their bodies and to make decisions regarding their own health and well-being. Abortions should be covered in all healthcare plans, as should contraception, regardless of where the funds come from.

Federal taxes do not go toward abortions under the Hyde amendment. If Republicans were as interested in what’s between women’s ears (brains) as they are in what’s between their legs they would drop their attempts to control a woman’s body and put efforts and money into family planning education and free birth control methods and options.

With no exceptions. Abortion should be considered murder unless the pregnancy is due to rape or incest, period. There are consequences in life and yes sex has consequences if you conceive and are not ready to. Murderous doctors have made it too easy for people to have sex and kill an unborn child. Even for an abortion to be performed for the reasons given proof should be a must. The adoption system in this country needs to be fixed so these children can be born and put in a good home with parents that love them and that wouldn't be able to have children otherwise.

Is abortion why Flint doesn't have drinkable water? Is abortion why American farmers across the grain belt are losing BILLIONS of dollars in revenue? Is abortion causing a humanitarian crisis on our southern border? Is abortion responsible for killing more Americans than opiate addiction? NO! NONE OF THESE FAR MORE IMPORTANT PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES! Including reopening the government.

Everybody complaining about it’s not my choice so stay out of it. Sorry, but when you start using my tax dollars, I damn well better have a say. And I say no. Pay for your own abortions you freeloaders.

It would be better if they would ban all abortions. But we have to take it one step at a time. Abortion is killing a child. Our taxpayer dollars should not be supporting abortion of any sort. Abortion should not be even be illegal for any reason.
